1. More Royal coins to be released

Princess
Charlotte's christening will be held on July 5 at St. Mary Magdalene
Church in Norfolk. To honor the event, the Royal Mint will release a gold and a silver
coin following the significant checkpoint in the young princess's life.

"The
new coin will be available in silver, in keeping with the
long-established tradition of crossing a newborn baby’s palm with
silver to confer good health and prosperity, and also in gold to mark
the royal celebration," a Royal Mint news release reads.

In
a recent series of posts, we've highlighted several coins that have

the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock.
